Weight reduction time! Nothing super serious, but hey, it all adds up:

- Front passenger seat
- AC blower fan
- Glove box
- All floor mats except driver's seat's
- All headrests except for driver's seat's
- Board and liner covering spare tire compartment in trunk
- Food crumbs and almost $1 in change under the seats from previous owners

Next to go tomorrow:
- Rear seat and cushion (if I can get the bolt out)

Also disconnected the trunk light to avoid unnecessary electrical use since my trunk is open most of the time while working on it.

Bought a 48" by 96" sheet of white coroplast today and made wheel covers for the HX rims when I get those on. Spray painted a test sample and it seemed to stick fine; I'll pick up some flat black paint for the wheel covers tomorrow and see how they turn out.
